I love ppiecing using freezer paper. I learned it in a class, but the video Kitsie shared takes you through it. However, I was just looking at a book that I bought for the designs and patterns and discovered that there is a section in the front that takes you through all the steps using the method I love. The book is BLOCKS TO DIAMONDS by Cheryl Malkowski. I shows stapling a stack of freezer paper with the pattern on top and stitching through the lines without thread to create easy folding lines so you don't have to see through the paper.

Freezer paper templates can be used over and over and do not require tearing the paper away from the block. Just thought I would add this to the other info because sometimes I do best when I can study the steps on paper. Give it a try. It is a great way to piece accurately. I've done Judy Niemeyer (sp?) blocks this way with no problem and I have Carol Doak's patterns to do this way as well.
